Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, after a number of years of consecutive blue team victories, I am here to congratulate the red team and my good friends Congressman LaHood and Congressman Bacon, the co- chairs of the Congressional Soccer Caucus. Truly, the real winners are the kids across America, who we are able to raise charity funds for, to help make sure that they can all experience a beautiful game, the beautiful game of soccer. The U.S. Soccer Foundation funds fields and equipment all across the country, particularly in the underserved areas. Madam Speaker, I invite everyone to join the soccer caucus and help stand up for your kids back home. I do have to say, on the eve of the Women's World Cup, with the defending World Cup champions, the U.S. Women's National Team, there is a little bit of girl power not only here in the House, but we intend to repeat the win of the Women's World Cup. Let's cheer them on and cheer on what they have done in standing up for pay equity and equal treatment as role models for girls and young women all across this country. ____________________”
